Comptia Project + Project Management

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Identifying early and late start dates as well as early and late finish dates for the uncompleted portions of project schedule activities






2. The degree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfills requirements

4. A subsystem of the overall project management system. it is a collection of formal documented procedures used to apply technical and administrative direction and surveillance to identify and document the functional and physical characteristics of a p






5. Dependency between two project schedule activities or between project schedule activity and schedule milestone.






6. Multiple attributes associated with each schedule activity that can be included within the activity list. activity attributes include activity codes - predecessor activities - successor activities - logical relationships - leads and lags - resource r






7. Management methodology for integrating scope - schedule and resources and for objectively measuring project performance and progress. performance is measured by determining the budgeted cost of work performed (earned value) and comparing it to the ac






8. Any continuous series of schedule activities connected with logical relationships in a project schedule network diagram






9. The expected total cost of a schedule activity - a work breakdown structure component or the project when the defined scope of work will be completed. Calculated based on performance to date or estimated by the project team based on other factors






10. Implementing risk response plans - tracking identified risks - monitoring residual risks - identifying new risks and evaluating risk process throughout the project






11. Defined systematic procedure employed by a human resource to perform an activity to produce a product or result or deliver a service that may employ one or more tools

13. A product - result or service generated by a process






14. Significant point or event in the project






15. Approximating the number of work periods needed to complete individual activities with estimated resources






16. Total amount of time that a schedule activity maybe delayed from its early start date without delaying the project finish date or violating a schedule constraint.






17. Identifying all people or organizations impacted by the project and documenting relevant information regarding their interest - involvement and impact on project success






18. Shortening the project schedule duration without reducing the project scope






19. Narrative description of products - services or results

21. Amount of time that a schedule activity can be delayed without delaying the early start date of any immediately following schedule activities.






22. Float (total float - free float)






23. Any numbering system used to uniquely identify each component of the work breakdown structure






24. The merging or joining of parallel schedule network paths into the same node in a project schedule network diagram. characterized by a schedule activity with more than one predecessor activity






25. Assumptions are factors that - for planning purposes - are considered to be true - real - or certain without proof or demonstration






26. Those processes performed to complete the work defined in the project management plan to satisfy project objectives






27. Formally documented change request that is submitted for approval to the integrated change control process






28. The process of confirming human resource availability and obtaining team necessary to complete project assignments






29. Logical relationship where completion of work of the successor activity cannot finish until the completion of work of the predecessor activity.






30. Analyzing activity sequences - durations - resource requirements and schedule constraints to create the project schedule






31. Judgment provided based upon expertise in an application area - knowledge area - discipline - industry - etc. as appropriate for the activity being performed.






32. Cost - time - quality - technical or resource value used as a parameter and which may be included in product specification. crossing the threshold should trigger some action.






33. Deliverable oriented hierarchical decomposition of the work to be executed by the project team to accomplish the project objectives and create the required deliverables






34. Schedule activity that determines when the logical successor activity can begin or end






35. Uncertain event or condition that has a positive or negative effect on projects objectives
